Peter Grillin is one of the NPCs added during FishFest in Fisch on Roblox, and his quest trips up players who assume any event fish will count. It does not. The objective checks for a single named catch, so a backpack full of rare event fish still leaves the quest stuck at zero progress.
Quick answer: Catch 3 Barbecue Bass, then return to Peter Grillin and hand them over to complete the quest. No other fish counts.
Peter Grillin quest requirements
The quest accepts only Barbecue Bass. Even rare FishFest catches will not register toward the goal, which is the most common reason players think the quest is bugged. If nothing happens when you talk to Peter Grillin, it is because you are holding the wrong fish.
| Detail | Value |

| Required fish | Barbecue Bass |
| Amount needed | 3 |
| Reward | Sunshells |
| Event | FishFest |
Best conditions to catch Barbecue Bass
Barbecue Bass is not one of the rarest FishFest fish, but the right conditions cut down the time you spend searching. Stacking these factors together gives you the highest catch chance per cast.
| Condition | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Tropical Sun weather | Boosts the appearance of many FishFest fish, including Barbecue Bass. |
| Night time | Barbecue Bass appears more often after sunset than during the day. |
| Summer season | As a summer event fish, it performs best under Summer conditions. |
| Magnet Bait | Improves fishing efficiency and reduces search time overall. |
Fastest way to finish the Peter Grillin quest
How to know the quest is complete
Once you turn in the three Barbecue Bass, the quest registers as finished and the game pays out the reward. If the turn-in does nothing, check that you are carrying actual Barbecue Bass rather than other event fish, since that mismatch is the usual cause of a quest that refuses to progress.
Peter Grillin quest reward
Completing the quest rewards you with Sunshells, the main FishFest currency used at the event shop. Sunshells go toward limited-time items that disappear once the event ends.
- Event rods
- Cosmetics
- Relics
- Furniture
- Special collectibles
- Other FishFest-exclusive items
Because the only real requirement is three of one specific fish, Peter Grillin’s quest is a quick way to add to your Sunshell total. Knock it out whenever Tropical Sun and nighttime line up, and the fish you need will show up faster than grinding it under plain conditions.
